A FUEL-AIR TYPE BOMB contains a liquid fuel normally non-explosive, with a bursting charge centrally located within the fuel. The bursting charge, upon firing, shocks the fuel into a highly reactive mixture with the surrounding air. The fuel-air bomb has a destructive effect over a much greater surface area.
